“…Our reservations about concepts such as repressed memories or dissociative amnesia are shared by many legal psychologists (Kassin, Tubb, Hosch, & Memon, 2001), research psychologists (Patihis, Ho, Tingen, Lilienfeld, & Loftus, 2014), memory researchers (Patihis, Ho, Loftus, & Herrera, in press), and psychiatrists (Pope, Oliva, Hudson, Bodkin, & Gruber, DISSOCIATIVE AMNESIA AND EXTRAORDINARY REMEMBERING 7 1999;Lalonde, Hudson, Gigante, & Pope, 2001) and align well with critical reviews that appeared in respected journals (e.g., Brenneis, 2000;Loftus, 2003;Porter, Campbell, Birt, & Woodworth, 2003;Takarangi, Polaschek, Garry, & Loftus, 2008;Rofé, 2008;Piper, Lillevik, & Kritzer, 2008). To compare the authors of these articles to those who deny that there is an association between, say, smoking and cancer is not a fruitful contribution to scientific discussion.…”
